West Lancashire residents in six locations across the borough are being encouraged to get involved in community action days right on their doorstep.
The community action days in Tanhouse, Birch Green, Scott Estate Ormskirk, Little Digmoor, Moorside and Digmoor are being organised by West Lancashire Community Safety Partnership working with the Borough Council, Police, Fire Service and other agencies.
Staff from the Borough Council, Police and Fire and Rescue Service will be on the estates offering advice and support on community safety on the dates below. Skips will also be available from 9am until they are full in the locations listed:
The community action days aim to improve working relationships, increase community confidence and reduce the fear of crime. Previous action days in West Lancashire have been a great success, proving that community spirit is alive and well in the borough.
Councillor Kevin Wright, portfolio holder for Community Safety, said: "I hope residents will take part in the community action days and take the opportunity to use the skips and talk to staff from the Council, Police and other agencies about any concerns they have about crime and community safety."
Police officers will be on the estates to promote 'In the Know' and give advice on crime prevention and other community safety issues. Victims' Voice will be involved to raise awareness of hate crime, and the support people they can receive if they are a victim.
The Council's Environmental Enforcement Team and Estates Management Team will also be around to encourage the use of the skips and deal with issues of fly tipping and dog fouling. In addition, Lancashire Probation's Community Payback Team will be supporting the events.
David Tilleray, Chairman of the West Lancashire Community Safety Partnership, said: "The community action days are great events for the local communities and I'd like to pay tribute to all the organisations, ward councillors and individual residents who play a part to make them successful."

Oracle is negotiating to buy three open-source companies to accelerate its transition to a subscription-based selling model, according to a report.
BusinessWeek Online Thursday published an article saying that Oracle was planning to acquire open-source middleware company JBoss, PHP tools maker Zend Technologies, and open-source database company Sleepycat.
The report follows weeks of rumors around an , which both companies declined to comment on two weeks ago. The BusinessWeek Online report said that JBoss and Oracle were haggling over price.
Such a move by Oracle would be a dramatic change for the software giant, but one that could mesh with its current strategy.
Oracle makes the majority of its revenue from its database and applications business. And it has its own line of Java middleware, which competes with JBoss' software, and a set of Java developer tools.
However, Oracle has been warming up to open-source products, including Zend's PHP development tools, over the past year because its corporate customers are increasingly using open source software, according to company executives.
In addition, Oracle has been seeking to shift its revenue model from up-front licenses and support to a subscription model, where companies pay for ongoing support and updates.
JBoss uses a support subscription model rather than charge a license fee, as do Zend and Sleepycat for some of its customers.
Oracle also recently acquired a small Finnish company called InnoDB which supplies a storage engine to the MySQL open-source database.
Officials from Oracle, Sleepycat, and Zend did not respond for requests to comment. A JBoss spokesperson on Friday said the company does not comment on rumors.

Thanks to a Boing Boing post regarding pointless complaining to the FCC for indecency on TV through the Parents Televison Council site, I made my own submission:
average. Very average. Therefore, I know indecency. I find the Verizon
commercials asking me to "Just Join In" very indecent. I, and every
average person I know, knows that this is just a euphemism for trying
to get me to join an orgy. I don't see any literary, artistic,
political, or scientific value.
By the way, I am writing this
from the Parents Television Council's web site. They make it so easy
for people like me to send an email complaining to the FCC about
anything we want.
According to Mediaweek, 99.8 percent of the
complaints going to the FCC about indecency are coming from this very
web site. Only who knows how many of them are legitimate and
representative of the will of the great American public?
think I covered the three-pronged (how indecent!) test the FCC uses for
indecency as noted on the submission page. Feel free to submit your own
take on indecency. Let's see if we can get the 2004 compliant numbers
even higher!
Thanks to Kevin Kelleher
for the original and I hope he doesn't mind me using his last two
paragraphs. I hope anyone else posting through that site will do the

The Challenge
Research from the United States shows that offering health and wellness services in a school setting makes youth more likely to seek out services, leading to healthier students and improved educational outcomes. The concept of school based health centres is very new in Canada and there is little information on implementation or impact of these centres in BC or Canada.
Since September 2015, 19 service providers have collaborated to provide a range of health services for children and youth attending John Barsby Community School in Nanaimo, BC.
The John Barsby Wellness Centre team consists of Public Health Nurses, physicians, administrative and social work staff who work with youth to deliver a wide range of on-site low-barrier and integrated wellness services. These include mental health and substance use services as well as education about nutrition, sexual health and community programs. Services are available to all John Barsby Community School students.
Members of this initiative have enlisted IHSTS to help them understand and learn from their work to date in developing and operating the wellness centre as a community-based collaborative.
Our approach
This project is currently in the scoping phase of IHSTS's standard project process.
IHSTS project leader Jeanne Legare is working with collaboration leaders to identify key questions about the initiative and develop a sound methodological approach to answering them.
Some possible questions include:
- What exactly is the collaboration culture at the John Barsby Wellness Centre now? What was the journey to bring this about? Can we paint the picture through stories of clinicians who provide services and from students who receive these services? What are we learning/changing as we go?
- What are some general lessons that our experience can provide, to help others bring about similar changes regardless of their current culture? What are the critical outcomes that matter to JBWC stakeholders? How should we measure and communicate impact?
- Does collaboration for impact produce better health outcomes?
- How can the collaboration be sustained for long term success?

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon remains concerned about allegations of chemical weapons use in Syria and supports the government's offer to continue discussions about an on-the-ground investigation, the U.N. said on Monday.
Syria's government offered to continue discussions about the U.N. team Ban set up to conduct the investigation into chemical weapon allegations.
"The secretary-general welcomes the offer of the government of Syria to continue discussions on the United Nations Mission to Investigate Allegations of the Use of Chemical Weapons in the Syrian Arab Republic," the U.N. said.
The U.N. said Åke Sellström, the leader of the mission, will go to New York this week to update Ban on the status of his activities.
"Pending its on-site access in Syria, the mission has continued to monitor developments as well as to collect and analyze information made available by member states," the U.N. said.
The statement said the mission engaged in fact-finding activities in a neighboring country to Syria.
According to the statement, Ban remains hopeful that Syria will allow the mission to conduct its on-site investigation.
"(Cooperation from Damascus) will be essential for the mission to establish facts in a credible manner regarding any use of chemical weapons in Syria," Ban said.

The idea behind effective networking is to build contacts with which you can share opportunities. Sharing is the key concept here. If you create a network of contacts hoping that they will think of you for every opportunity, although you never share opportunity with them, you are mistaken.
There is a synergy and general feeling of community that will lend a genuine empathy to your dealings. Make no mistake; a me-only perspective will impact the effectiveness of your professional networking. This is clearly most effective as a two-way street.

Station ticket barriers are being left open over 60% of the time at some tube stations TfL data uncovered by Labour's London Assembly Transport Spokesperson Val Shawcross AM has revealed. The increasing trend for barriers to be left open is making life easy for fare dodgers Ms Shawcross said after TfL estimated over £61m is lost to fare evasion each year.
Whilst real-time data on whether ticket barriers are left open is not collected, TfL undertakes regular unannounced 'mystery shopper' exercises to monitor whether ticket barriers are left open. Across the whole tube network barriers were left open 6.91% of the time in June and July this year, but TfL data provided to Ms Shawcross showed that some stations consistently left ticket barriers open for long periods of time. Bromley-by-Bow was the worst offender with gates left open 61% of the time, but in total 20 stations saw their ticket barriers left open more than a quarter of the time.
Whilst technical faults can cause ticket barriers to be left open, TfL rules state that when there are no members of staff available to help passengers on the gateline the barriers must be left open. Ms Shawcross warned that TfL plans to axe 950 station staff could exacerbate the problem and lead to millions more pounds in fares being lost.
According to their latest estimates TfL loses £61.47m each year due to fare evasion on the tube.
Labour's London Assembly Transport Spokesperson, Val Shawcross AM said:
"The vast majority of Londoners are honest about these things but there will always be a small minority who take advantage and try to avoid paying their fares. We should be doing all we can to crack down on fare dodgers, not making life easy for them by leaving some station ticket barriers open more than half the time.
"By cutting 950 staff from stations TfL risks having to leave ticket barriers open more often, making fare evasion that little bit easier. It's a total false economy if the money saved by reducing staff is then lost as a result of increased fare dodging."

It seems like an age ago that season 2 of the Expanse finished, and we still have some months before season 3 hits our screens. Here's what we can hope to learn from the third season.
No Spoilers included – Only Opinions!
What is the Protomolecule doing on Venus?
So Miller persuaded Julie Mao to crash the protomolecule into the surface of Venus, and Earth and Mars immediately decided to investigate, knowing the significance of what might be down there. The UN sent the UNN Arboghast, which covertly took readings and did some investigation before travelling too close and momentarily becoming disaggregated, before all hands are lost. We are destined to find out early on what is happening on Venus, and you can bet your bottom dollar that the crew of the Rocinante will be getting involved at some point; probably sponsored by Fred Johnson of the OPA.
Will Bobbie Draper join the crew of the Rocinante?
If you haven't read the books, you might think that Bobbie Draper and the crew of the Roci are destined to join forces at some point in this intergalactic game of chess. It certainly looks as though the third season might see Naomi, Holden, Amos and Alex join forces with Bobbie in trying to stop the protomolecule from destroying the solar system. At the end of season 2, Bobbie is employed by the charismatic Chrisjen Avasarala, and Avasarala would foolish not to use Bobbie's skills to her advantage. Avasarala is a charismatic, wily politician who knows exactly how to get what she wants, and she'll do whatever she needs to do to save the Earth from any potential danger.
Are Mars and Earth heading for war?
The MCRN and the UN have been at each other's throats for the first few seasons and I doubt that will change much in the third; especially not now everybody has more of a clue about what is going on and the significance of the protomolecule. Bobbie Draper might not be working for the Martian Marine Corps anymore and they did lose the Donnager, but they still have some highly advanced ships and their marines are extremely focused. The fate of Earth and Mars, and even the OPA is now in the hands of the protomolecule and whatever comes of it. Whatever is happening on the surface of Venus is destined to change everything.
Have we seen the last of Miller?
Miller ended up a hero in the second season, chasing his gut instinct, finding Julie Mao and persuading her to crash the protomolecule into Venus. He couldn't have physically survived the crash, and he couldn't survive on Venus unless Julie Mao and the protomolecule are keeping him alive in some form. It could be that the protomolecule, which we know has intelligence, will use Miller for its own gain in the future, knowing Miller's relationship with Holden and the Rocinante crew.
Will Amos take his shirt off again?
I recently did an article about the hottest characters from the first seasons of The Expanse and I received some pretty candid feedback about my choices; namely 'Where the hell is Amos Burton?' Wes Chatham was a pretty good casting choice to play Amos, but you really should read The Churn in order to get an understanding of his background and what happened to him to turn him into, well, Amos. I can't promise he'll take his shirt off again, but given the positive response from across the sexual spectrum last time he did it, the producers would be mad to keep him fully clothed in the third season.

Arranging a holiday needs much consideration and study into how you're heading where you're heading to get, and multitude particulars including your travel plan, accommodation, meals, etc. Before you guaranteed that your belongings are well-protected while you're apart nevertheless, your preparation isn't complete. Robbers who see as stealing the car, a house that is left may most likely target the car as an alternative to the house itself is simpler and a lot faster than entering a house. The National Insurance Crime Bureau advises the most effective solution while you're away to take care of your vehicle is with GPS monitoring.
There are a number of different kinds of GPS monitoring apparatus. Actual Time GPS trackers are little devices using radio waves to immediately exchange the place of the car when the system is set. The coordinates of the car may be seen having an Internet link from any place on earth. Many real-time GPS trackers have a monthly payment, much like the support supplied to get a phone line. For travellers who simply need the apparatus for just one time use, there's also a choice of leasing A – GPS system.
Loggers function by documenting and monitoring the place of the car. The gain of the apparatus is it is a low cost means to track comings and the goings of your car or truck, without month-to-month payment. It's for tracking adolescents, very good. On the other hand, the longer attached to a PC to look at the annals of where the automobile has been and should be recovered in the vehicle. It is going to not be any assist in finding a car that is lost.
Consider the manner in which you would like to energy the apparatus when picking A – GPS monitor. A battery powered GPS screen is easy and quick to set up, and indeed will very quickly be transmitted between cars. A wired GPS system is an improved alternative in the event that you anticipate retaining it in one automobile and requires about half an hour to put in. It's the advantage of not needing battery shifts.
Abilities that enable whoever owns the automobile to earnestly avoid stealing, in the place of simply monitoring the vehicle location have been added by some trackers. Some car tracking techniques enable owners to get a handle on the automobile slightly, obstructing motor or the doorways in the event of crisis. Some apparatus additionally send automatic alarms to alert the owner in the event the auto alarm is activated, or it's transferred without authorization.
Some support suppliers, including lo-jack or On Star, supply GPS monitoring of the automobile. In this scenario, auto proprietors will not need to commit in GPS automobile tracking apparatus.
Your canine is given, as well as before departing, you'll ensure that the crops are watered and went everyday. Do probably among your valued and many expensive properties, miss your vehicle. A GPS system enable you an extra way of measuring serenity of brain, and may maintain your vehicle risk-free while you're away in order to relish your a vacation in the fullest level.

Millions of starfish along the western coast of North America have been dying off from the destructive "sea star wasting syndrome," whose previously unknown cause has now been discovered, researchers say.
Researchers have identified the Sea Star Associated Densovirus as the cause behind the massive numbers of dead sea stars. This type of virus is reportedly common in invertebrates.
The Cornell Chronicle reported one researcher's comments on the findings: "Not only is this an important discovery of a virus involved in a mass mortality of marine invertebrates, but this is also the first virus described in a sea star."
The virus has been detected in samples from sea stars as far back as 1942. The cause for the current surge, however, is less clear. Reasons from sea star overpopulation to changes in environment to mutation of the virus were all offered up as possibilities.
Sea Stars play a significant part in their ecosystem, according to experts quoted by the Chronicle. The are "keystone" predator species that contribute to maintaining species diversity.
Given that the epidemic has been both spreading and intensifying, the revelation of its cause will hopefully aid scientists in responding to the widespread sickness.

ASTANA (Reuters) - Kazakhstan's Prime Minister Serik Akhmetov, who had managed Central Asia's largest economy since September 2012, said on Wednesday that he had resigned.
There was no immediate indication why he stepped down, but President Nursultan Nazarbayev, who wields sweeping powers in his vast nation, can change prime ministers at his own choosing.
Journalists summoned to government headquarters saw Akhmetov on monitors, telling a cabinet meeting that had Nazarbayev accepted his resignation.
Akhmetov, 55, is a devoted loyalist of Nazarbayev. He started his career at the same steel plant in Temirtau as the president and later rose through the ranks of the Soviet Communist party.
He said that under the law his cabinet had resigned with him, but the ministers would continue carrying out their duties before a new government is formed.
"I hope that this composition of the government will be mainly preserved and will continue working for the future of our motherland," Akhmetov told the cabinet.
His successor will face a major task of preparing Kazakhstan's integration into the Eurasian Economic Union which will unite Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus. The union, to be formed by 2015, is widely seen as a regional counterbalance to the European Union.
Kazakhstan is the second-largest post-Soviet oil producer after Russia.

Day 1 Training
Thank you to everyone that wished me luck and has been supportive in my career move!
Day 1 training went very well at Village Profile's HQ in Elgin, IL. Pretty typical first day: boatload of paperwork, company office tour / meet the staff, lunch with the big guy and lots and lots of information. I am very excited and think this will be a great new job for me.
I have homework: tonight I have to fold and unfold a map 100 times so as to become an expert. I suppose a sales person selling maps should be able to properly work a map. Those things are tricky.

Are there people having trouble folding and unfolding maps?!? This is a disorder I have not yet heard of. I would have brought the map in all fucked up and torn, and pulled it out of your purse and said "after the 4th try, I got really frustrated and had to go out for a drink...can I have a new map, I took my medication today, so I should be fine." You know, just to see how committed they are to you working there.

Liposuction, or a removal of excess fat, can help sculpt and define your face. The procedure, often performed in-office, involves small incisions within the natural folds of the face and/or under the chin or jaw line. Excess fat is endoscopically suctioned out through these small incisions, and then closed with small stitches. Most patients resume normal activities within several days.
Many patients seek facial liposuction to smooth excess facial fat in the chin and jawline (upper neck area) for a give more contoured and youthful appearance. Facial fat accumulation is common as we age, but it can also result from weight gain and a family history of accumulation.
Some patients choose liposuction alone, while others may benefit from liposuction combined with other procedures: face lift, chin or cheek implants, neck lift or rhinoplasty.
Because some areas of the face require facial fat, especially to provide a natural, soft look, your facial features and bone structure should be evaluated by an experienced specialist before considering liposuction. During your consultation Drs. Branham and Chi will review your options and discuss a custom treatment path that meets your goals and expectations.

For the past year, I've been taking adaptogens for stress relief, and my experience has been a positive one.
"Sometimes the most important thing in a whole day is the rest we take between two deep breaths." – Etty Hillesum
At this time last year, I really needed to bolster my support system. I had been dealing with digestion issues for over six months, and it seemed to be the effect of a combination of prolonged stress and a dietary issue–it also proved to be a cause for more stress.
Then my dad passed away, and the foundation that was already shaky fell away, too. Stress, frustration, and despair took its place. I knew deep down, though, that there was still a light, and my writing became even more of a self-soothing necessity.
It was probably this blog that did the greatest work of preparing me to handle the stress of this loss…
I needed more help, though, and I needed to take care of myself better. The situation of my life threw me down so that I could learn how to rise again, this time with more grace.
Like Byron Katie says, "Stress is an alarm clock that lets you know you're attached to something that's not true for you."
In my search for ways to feel better naturally, I came across something I didn't even know existed: adaptogens for stress relief. Basically, adaptogens are herbs that deliver non-specific protection against various mental, physical, and environmental forms of stress. I'd try anything, so I ordered some from Thrive Market.
Since I started taking adaptogens for stress—I started with Rhodiola Rosea, which is one of the most popular ones—I've been re-building a solid foundation of peace inside.
It wasn't just the herbs that helped me, but they were a healthy part of the team that brought me out of despair and gave me hope.
Today I'm sharing a short and sweet post from Thrive Market (my favorite place to shop for pantry staples online) that highlights the benefits of taking adaptogens for stress.
If you're interested in using any of these herbs as a part of your journey back to joy, you get 20% off your first three orders, plus a free 30-day trial.
I'm grateful for companies like Thrive that highlight natural remedies and self-care solutions. If you're at all like me, and you get stressed out and want to take better care of yourself, I think you'll appreciate the following information, too.
The following article originally appeared on Thrive Market. Thank you.
Everything You Need to Know about Adaptogens
Stress is nothing new. Even though our ancestors didn't have to deal with a constant flow of work emails and social media–fueled feelings of FOMO, they still had plenty of their own challenges (predators, famines, infections). So while the sources of tension and fear have changed over time, the existence of stress—and the human body's response to it—hasn't.
Ancient medical traditions like India's Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine have long sung the praises of adaptogens—certain herbs that may help the body adapt to stress. Despite the long use of adaptogens in other cultures, they're something of a new phenomenon in the U.S. as researchers are starting to look into claims that traditional healers have been making for a long time. Below, we'll get you up to speed on adaptogens, what they're believed to do, why they're gaining popularity in the Western world, and how to incorporate them into your self-care routine.
What are adaptogens?
Adaptogens are a special class of plants (mostly herbs, though there are some exceptions) that, according to proponents, have a normalizing effect on the body. While that may sound vague, it's precisely what makes them unique—they don't serve a single function. The belief is that adaptogens may be able to adapt to whatever the body is dealing with (stress, anxiety, fatigue), and help alleviate or lessen the symptoms.
By now, many of us are aware that stress—particularly when it becomes habitual—can really throw us out of whack. That's because our bodies treat stress as a serious threat every time we feel it, initiating a series of behavioral and physiological changes to help address the danger—either through confrontation or by making a run for it! Stress hormones like cortisol are regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, an important network of glands that play a central role in the endocrine system. When constantly activated, the HPA axis can easily get off balance and tax the adrenals, making us more susceptible to experience anxiety and get certain illnesses.
The good news is that adaptogens are thought to help the body handle stress more efficiently, working along the HPA axis to regulate the stress response. The same study noted adaptogens help "increase endurance and attention in situations of decreased performance caused by fatigue." In other words, whether you're feeling high-strung and frazzled, or, conversely, overwhelmed and lethargic, adaptogens appear to help. In fact, there are several recent studies suggesting that adaptogens may help positively impact the immune system and improve cognition.
4 popular adaptogens and what they do
There are more than a dozen herbs that are considered adaptogenic—here are a few of the most popular. If you're interested in adding adaptogens to your natural stress management arsenal, this list would be a good place to start.
Central to Ayurveda, Ashwagandha shows promise as a stress relief aid and appears to support the immune system.
Astragalus is common to many Traditional Chinese Medicine herbal formulations because it is believed to improve longevity. Studies suggest that it may have anti-inflammatory properties.
Holy Basil (Tulsi)
As evidenced by its name, Holy Basil is considered sacred in India. Studies suggest this herb may promote enhanced cognition and support a healthy response to stress.
Commonly used in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Rhodiola appears to reduce inflammation, fight stress-induced fatigue, and help with overall stress management, according to recent research.
How to add adaptogens to your wellness routine
Although very few adaptogens are associated with adverse side effects, some can interfere with prescription medicines or aren't recommended for those with certain health conditions. Therefore, we suggest consulting with your doctor before trying them (as with any new supplement)—a medical professional can help determine which herbs are right for you and suggest appropriate dosages, too.
Most adaptogens are available in capsule form to be taken as a regular dietary supplement. Alternately, you can add powdered or liquid versions to a daily smoothie, or brew special tea blends.
Regardless of how (or how often) you decide to take them, keep in mind that adaptogens don't work like pharmaceuticals. Champions of adaptogens find them to be really effective in maintaining energy and managing stress—but note that the effects are subtle and felt over the long-term. So think of them not as a quick fix, but rather, a complement to other self-care practices like yoga, meditation, and aromatherapy.

Reed First School
Reed First School is very easy to find. The village is right next to the A10 but does not suffer from through traffic as the link road to Barkway, known as The Joint, bypasses the village to the north.
If you are travelling by car on the A10 then enter the village along Blacksmith's Lane, which is opposite the Silver Ball café, and follow this down past the village green.
It then takes a sharp turn to the left, which should be negotiated slowly as it has a particularly high kerb on the passenger's side with little room for passing oncoming traffic. Jackson's Lane is the next road on the right.
If approaching Reed along The Joint from Barkway, ignore the Crow Lane turning, which is a very narrow lane, and turn left into Brickyard Lane and then left again into Jackson's Lane.
Please park on the school side of the road.
The following extract is from the Ofsted report for Reed First School:
Ofsted Report
Reed First School was inspected by Ofsted on 18 – 19th June 2013. The overall grade of the inspection was 'Good'.
The report recognised many features of the school that were either good or outstanding, including;
- That pupils make good progress throughout the school and that the standard of their work when they leave is usually above that seen nationally.
- That teaching is typically good and some is outstanding.
- That pupils are articulate and polite, and their behaviour is outstanding. Pupils' courtesy and attitudes to learning are outstanding. They come to school every day determined to learn and in doing so become confident and articulate.
- In classrooms, pupils' attitudes are the driving force behind the good progress they make. They work well with each other and with adults. They know that, by following the clear guidance given by the school, they are able to enjoy every part of the school day. The school is a safe and happy community.
- The school has a warm and welcoming ethos that parents and pupils value highly. The school provides a safe and secure environment and pupils know they are always able to find an adult to help if needed.
- Pupils have many opportunities to contribute to the school. Older pupils help younger ones through a buddying system and school councillors have jobs such as 'Welcoming Officer' to greet parents and other visitors to the school.
- Attendance is high and pupils are punctual.
- Good leadership from the headteacher has led to improvements in the quality of teaching.
- The school governors are conscientious and support the school well.

Flirty Aprons, you may have seen them in the mall, sent me one of their aprons. I chose the Marilyn Swanky Brunette. It has a beautiful vintage rose print with an accent of a mocha dotty print. Three things I love about it... 1} the vintage roses 2} the layers of ruffles 3} the fit. It fits better than a lot of aprons I have tried on. Who knew you had to try on an apron to see if it fits well. I didn't until I started my collection.
Flirty Aprons is having a fun contest Flirty Aprons ~ Freedom from domestication with a little Sugar n' Spice campaign. Get 20 % off with the promo code BB20 on aprons for the next six weeks. For their contest you purchase a new Flirty Apron and then create a video of you creatively destroying one of your ugly old aprons. All YouTube videos must include Flirty Aprons on the title.

|<<Str. 10.1.7
|Str. 10.1.16 (Greek English(2))
|>>Str. 10.2.2
Some say, that the Eretrians were a colony from Macistus in Triphylia, under the conduct of Eretrieus; others, that they came from Eretria, in Attica, where now a market is held. There is an Eretria also near Pharsalus. In the Eretrian district there was a city, Tamynæ, sacred to Apollo. The temple (which was near the strait) is said to have been built by Admetus, whom the god, according to report, served a year [Note] for hire.
Eretria, [Note] formerly, had the names of Melaneïs and Arotria. The village Amarynthus, at the distance of 7 stadia from the walls, belongs to it.
The Persians razed the ancient city, having enclosed with multitudes the inhabitants, according to the expression of Herodotus, [Note] in a net, by spreading the Barbarians around the walls. The foundations are still shown, and the place is called ancient Eretria. The present city is built near it.
The power which the Eretrians once possessed, is evinced by a pillar which was placed in the temple of Diana Amarynthia. There is an inscription on it to this effect, that their processions upon their public festivals consisted of three thousand heavy-armed soldiers, six hundred horsemen, and
sixty chariots. They were masters, besides other islands, of
Andros, Tenos, and Ceos. They received colonists from
Elis, whence their frequent use of the letter R, (,) [Note] not only
at the end, but in the middle of words, which exposed them
to the raillery of comic writers.
Œchalia, [Note] a village, the remains of a city destroyed by
Hercules, belongs to the district of Eretria. It has the same
name as that in Trachinia, as that near Tricca, [Note] as that in
Arcadia, (which later writers call Andania,) and as that in
ætolia near the Eurytanes.
11. At present Chalcis [Note] is allowed, without dispute, to hold
the first rank, and is called the capital of the Eubœans.
Eretria holds the second place. Even in former times these
cities had great influence both in war and peace, so that
they afforded to philosophers an agreeable and tranquil retreat. A proof of this is the establishment at Eretria of the
school of Eretrian philosophers, disciples of Menedemus; and
at an earlier period the residence of Aristotle [Note]
13. The Eubœans excelled in standing [Note] fight, which was
also called close fight, [Note] and fight hand to hand. [Note] They used
spears extended at length according to the words of the poet;
warriors eager to break through breastplates with extended ashen
spears. [Note]
The missile weapons were perhaps of different kinds, as, probably, was the ashen spear of Pelion, which, as the poet says,
Achilles alone knew how to hurl. [Note]Il. xix. 389.
I strike farther with a spear than any other person with an arrow, [Note]Od. viii. 229.
he wounded him with a polished spear, pointed with brass, and unbraced his limbs. [Note]
He represents the Eubœans as fighting in this manner; but
he describes the Locrian mode as contrary to this;
It was not their practice to engage in close fight, but they followed him
to Ilium with their bows, clothed in the pliant fleece of the sheep. [Note]
An answer of an oracle is commonly repeated, which was returned to the ægienses;
a Thessalian horse, a Lacedæmonian woman, and the men who drink
the water of the sacred Arethusa,
meaning the Chalcideans as superior to all other people, for
Arethusa belongs to them.
At present the rivers of Eubœa are the Cereus and Neleus. The cattle which drink of the water of the former become white, and those that drink of the water of the latter become black. We have said that a similar effect is produced by the water of the Crathis. [Note]10.1.15
As some of the Eubœans, on their return from Troy, were driven out of their course among the Illyrians; pursued their journey homewards through Macedonia, and stopped in the neighbourhood of Edessa; having assisted the people in a war, who had received them hospitably; they founded a city,
Eubœa. There was a Eubœa in Sicily, founded by the Chalcideans, who were settled there. It was destroyed by Gelon, and became a strong-hold of the Syracusans. In Corcyra also, and at Lemnus, there was a place called Eubœa, and a hill of this name in the Argive territory.10.1.16
We have said, that ætolians, Acarnanians, and Athamanes are situated to the west of the Thessalians and Œtæans, if indeed we must call the Athamanes, [Note] Greeks. It remains, in order that we may complete the description of Greece, to give some account of these people, of the islands which lie nearest to Greece, and are inhabited by Greeks, which we have not yet mentioned.

Council researchers have developed a long-acting contraceptive vaginal system that has the potential to prevent pregnancy for one full year.
The Issue
While several contraceptive methods have been developed for short- and long-term protection against pregnancy, women's needs differ and may change over the course of their lifetime. Having access to a variety of contraceptive options allows women to choose the method best suited to their needs.
In low-resource settings, women face unique barriers to obtaining effective contraception. A woman may encounter opposition from her family or community. Public-sector programs, the main source of contraception in most developing countries, typically offer limited options and supplies are not always available. Healthcare providers may not be trained or available to provide the counseling and services that women require in order to address their reproductive health needs. These factors leave women at risk for unintended pregnancy, unsafe abortion, and other health risks associated with pregnancy and childbirth.
The Progress
Population Council researchers have developed a one-year contraceptive vaginal ring, which—if approved by regulatory authorities—will be the first contraceptive to provide a full year of protection against unintended pregnancy while fully under a woman's control.
Two pivotal open-label safety and efficacy Phase 3 trials of the one-year ring were completed involving 2,308 healthy women at 27 sites in the United States, Latin America, Europe, and Australia. The women were between 18 and 40 years of age and were instructed to use the one-year ring over 13 menstrual cycles, or one full year.
Roughly 2 ¼ inches in diameter, the soft, flexible ring can be inserted and removed by the woman herself. In formulating the ring, Population Council researchers combined a widely used estrogen (ethinyl estradiol) with a new progestin (Nestorone®) to develop a single ring that can prevent ovulation for an entire year (13 cycles). During each cycle, the ring is left in place for 21 days and removed for 7 days. The one-year contraceptive ring does not require refrigeration, which is particularly important for distribution and use in low-resource settings.
Women in the Phase III trials of the new ring ranked it highly in terms of convenience, ease of use, and comfort. Nearly 9 in 10 women (89%) surveyed were satisfied with the ring as a method of contraception. Most participants surveyed found the ring easy to use and experienced no change in sexual pleasure or frequency when using the ring. The majority of women and their partners reported that they did not feel the ring when it was in place.
Efforts are underway to complete US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) review and to pursue regulatory approval in low and middle-income countries.
The Impact
The Population Council has developed and licensed some of the most widely used long-acting, reversible contraceptives in the world, including the Copper T intrauterine device; Mirena®, the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system; and the implants Jadelle® and Norplant®. More than 170 million women worldwide are currently using contraceptive methods based on the Population Council's technology. Council researchers continue to advance a rich pipeline of innovative options to meet the sexual and reproductive health needs of women, men and young people around the world. If approved, the vaginal contraceptive system would be the first contraceptive option that provides a full year of protection against unintended pregnancy while fully under a woman's control.

Love this dress...
Loved this dress. Ordered again in pink. Ordered XXXL. Fit well..
Shockingly good quality for the price...
This dress is really well constructed for the price. I was shocked to see it doesn't look cheap at all! Its gonna look super cute with my grey cardi and pumps. And in case you're like me and have a thing about huge underarm exposure, this dress has a normal, human-sized underarm opening so no worries on your strapless bra showing on the sides.Hope this helps...
Comfortable, Simple Dress
This dress looks just like it does in the picture. It's super comfortable and sort of stretchy. It isn't anything spectacular but it's a nice, comfortable dress to wear and it's a good deal.
Fits like a glove
Very sexy.... Very sexy... I ordered a large... Fits like a glove...

Incredibly Sexy.
I bought this to see my husband's reaction and boy what a reaction. Lets just say it was a very hot night. Buy this for sure.
Excellent quality for the price.
This is my second one. I had the first for about a year and a half and wore it out! Fantastic piece.
I loved it.
I'm not a big person, but I have a big chest. I have to go up a size. The large fit under my arms, didn't show my bra. You will need a slip. The dress looks just like the picture. The green is beautiful.
I think it looks fantastic. Attached is a picture of the Peter P
I recently bought a couple swing dresses from Torrid and wasn't too thrilled with how little underskirt there was. I immediately placed an order for this petticoat and, when it came in, tried it on with the dresses. I think it looks fantastic. Attached is a picture of the Peter Pan dress from Torrid with the petticoat under it. :-D
SCORE! Great purchase
I order a xlarge...glad I did! It fits perfect, I'm usually a med. Comes right below my knees (im 5'4) Recieved dress fast. Exactly as pictured. Material A little thin, not quite see thru. Very silky soft material. My only complaint is that dress doesn't have belt loops to keep belt in place but couple of safety pins will fix that. Very figure flattering. Think I'll wear it for easter Sunday :)
super fast shipping
as described. super fast shipping. excellent product.plan to purchase more colors
Thank you.
Very satisfied. Good quality and prompt delivery.
Hand wash only only complaint other than that it's wonderful

text: Microsoft has finally set a date for when Xbox 360 owners will be able to use USB flash drives for storing profiles, game saves, and demos. The feature will be enabled on April 6th via a new system update. The feature will let you use up to 16 GB of space on a USB flash drive for storage. You can connect up to two devices at the same time, which gives you a maximum total of 32GB to play with. Major Nelson notes that USB hard drives "may work", but you'll still only be able to use up to 16GB of space. You can use any flash drive brand, but those who want to go Microsoft all the way can wait for a Sandisk Xbox 360 branded USB flash drive that comes pre-configured out of the box. This should arrive sometime in May. Source

Following is the speech by the Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development, Mr Frederick Ma, at the signing ceremony of the Consumers International World Congress 2011 in Hong Kong cum prize presentation of the 8th Consumer Rights Reporting Awards today (June 27):
President Samuel Ochieng, Professor the Hon Anthony Cheung, distinguished guests and friends from the media,
It is a great pleasure to join you today. This is in fact a memorable occasion which we have been longing for for quite some time. I also wish to extend a very warm welcome to President Ochieng of Consumers International, whose presence signifies the close co-operation between the Hong Kong Consumer Council and Consumers International, particularly on the hosting of the Consumers International World Congress in 2011 in Hong Kong.
I am very pleased that Consumers International has selected Hong Kong to host the next world congress. I am thankful to Professor Cheung for his kind words on the part played by the Government in the process. But to be frank, the success has come largely as a result of the Consumer Council's many years of unrelenting efforts in promoting consumer protection, which is not only recognised by Hong Kong citizens but also highly regarded in the international community. It is the honour of Hong Kong to be given the opportunity to co-host this big event with Consumers International and I can assure all of you that the Hong Kong Government will provide full support for this prestigious event. I am confident that we will stage the best ever congress, bringing together many prominent consumer leaders and advocates from all over the world, and yielding fruitful results in promoting global consumer protection.
I would also like to highlight Hong Kong's unique role as an Asian World City and our proximity to the Mainland, which has placed us in the most advantageous location in attracting participation of consumer protection bodies from Asia and China. I understand the Consumer Council has been working very closely with these bodies in recent years and I trust that the event will further cement the ties amongst the consumer bodies of Hong Kong, the Mainland and other economies.
Building on the success of the world congress in Sydney last year, the world congress in Hong Kong will no doubt be another milestone in the history of Consumers International! In today's ceremony, we will sign a Memorandum of Understanding to signify our commitment to organising a world class congress in 2011.
I am happy to know that this evening has also been dedicated to celebrate the outstanding achievements of our friends from the media, who have contributed markedly to the promotion of consumer protection. The annual Consumer Rights Reporting Awards has encouraged press coverage of consumers rights issues, the reports of which definitely provide good guidance to every one of us here as we are all consumers.
The best means of helping consumers to protect themselves is to let them know their rights and how they should exercise their rights. Consumers are much empowered by the availability of information which makes a lot of difference when making purchasing decisions. I am happy that the media has been playing this important role for many years through their reports, and the effect is that consumers in general are now more educated, know how to spend wisely and are better equipped to protect themselves from unfair or improper trade practices. I am particularly delighted to see so many distinguished participants today. I applaud your hard work and congratulate all the award winners.
Ladies and gentlemen, I am glad to see all of you here today. I wish you all a very fruitful year ahead. And let us wish the world congress in 2011 success!
Thank you very much.
